Instructions

Prepare the beef by trimming excess fat and slicing against the grain into thin strips. Coat the beef evenly with cornstarch and let rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and ginger; cook for another minute.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce. Pour over the sautéed vegetables and bring to a simmer.
Return the seared beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the sauce. Stir in green onion pieces just before serving.
